in terms of the romney campaign, charlie only told you have to story. i can't talk to neal newhouse my partner who is in boston doing the campaign and has been living up there since december. i am doing a lot of work for the super pac so whatever we talk you can -- it will be about the red sox are the giants and that's about it. i will hold off on giving advice to the romney campaign. they have enough people giving them lots of advice. >> one reaction to your point about 2004, i thought that the obama campaign probably ought to be paying royalties to karl rove because i think they really studied that 04 race very very closely and on certain things applied it very well. for example you know, take one of your opponents most important strengths and turn it into a weakness. john kerry's war record as a weakness and mitt romney's business experience and turn it into a weakness and then you know try to appeal out the independent voters but after a certain point, don't blow your whole campaign war chest going after people who may never end up going your way an

[laughter] >> charlie is always asking me for money and i never give it to him. [laughter] >> welcome the wanted me to start first because i am going to talk about the law and i am going to bore you for five minutes. but they only gave me five minutes because of that. but there are two ideas i really want to put forward here. in some ways i think i am going to go to a point further than sandra did. i want to talk about with the constitutional issue of privacy, and then i met to talk about how the constitution results to a struggle between freedom of religion and the right of government to regulate society even when such regulations may interfere with religious doctrines because those are two points that are important here. there was a time in this country before 1965 when it was okay for a state to outlaw the use of contraceptions by married couples. several states had been for years. they were lingering on the books for years and finally the supreme court in a case called griswold versus connecticut said it was unconstitutional to prohibit married people from us

with charlie on health care. and by the way, when john and i came to the conference almost the same time, we worked on navajo issues and a boxing commission and native american issues i remember with tom daschle so this is a good panel but my main point is the states i think they are laboratories of bipartisanship that the federal government can learn from, and i don't know how you merge that together. maybe this institute can figure that out. >> secretaries ridge would you pick up on that? customers are practical, they have to do it. but you also have a national governors' association where you do seem to come together more than we see the members of congress. >> we are giving the response of devotee as an executive and they are having served 12 years in congress and have a great opportunity to serve as the governor for six years nine months and five days.

i was with charlie cook last night. he is one of the political and gnostic hitters around you, and charlie famously said something back that is present obama is related it will be to spite the economy if governor romney is elected it will be despite his campaign. and i think that is playing out right now. and i think part of it is this 50.1% attitude. i think the other thing, governor romney i think grew up in a privileged environment. just like i want to get my daughter all i can come his father wanted to do the same take. mccain was somewhat isolated with the schools and elite i think sort of thinking along the way. and i think he also, his parents instilled upon him that because of those privileges he had responsibility. and that is what you might say class had responsibility to give back and to be a leader later. so i think he wants to be president because he wants to make good decisions. he wants to, with circumstance brought before him as ambassador said, he wants to reorganize the government so it's a vision. but

um, but i wanted to clarify one thing which i think speaks to what charlie was just saying. when we discussed earlier the religious freedom restoration act which was the piece of legislation that addressed the supreme court case that we discussed, the act says that if there is a compelling enough interest, then it's appropriate for the government to regulate in that way. so the question really comes to whether, frankly, the argument that i made or that ken made is a compelling enough interest. and if it is, then this is a regulation that stands. so we don't want anyone to go away thinking that the regulation is unconstitutional or is a violation of a federal statute. it's not. >> yet. [laughter] >> there are, there are some cases that have not yet been decided, but i feel that they're going to turn out in the way that i described. >> probably. >> yeah.
